“Luke is extremely knowledgeable in his field and also in understanding what motivates his clients. I met him through hiring him to work with my daughter and watched the great results that we experienced with him working with her and then started working with him myself a couple years ago. He works very differently with me than he does my daughter because we want different results and are different people. I also thought so highly of Luke and the work that he does that I asked him to head up the fitness area of our Corporate Wellness program that we offer through my company. I would highly recommend him.”

— Janet Kendall White, President/CEO Berkshire Group, Inc.

“Simply put, Luke Chronister has assisted me, inspired me and given me the tools to control and shape my life. Until I started working with Luke I never fully appreciated the impact personal fitness and wellbeing can have on my personal and professional life, my mind-set and my overall outlook. My sessions with Luke have done more than just strengthen and transform my core, they’ve also strengthened and transformed my motivation, my drive and my self confidence that I can become the person I know I can be.”

“Luke and his team at Elite not only made our kids faster and stronger but serve as role models. Luke's positive attitude and commitment have helped build self confidence and commitment within our kids.”

— Prentice Thompson, Youth Soccer Coach

“Luke's knowledge and execution of specific strength and conditioning training techniques surpasses anyone I have ever worked with. He is not only professional but makes it fun to achieve your goals.”

“"Luke works you hard but makes it fun at the same time"”

— Jocelyn Knauss

“"Luke challenges you and helps you work toward your goal of being an all-around better athlete"”

— Gabriella Knauss

“Luke Chronister has always been a talented trainer and is a real asset in improving personal performance. He worked with me to help rehabilitate a severe lower back injury several years ago. Following an L3 L4 hemilaminectomy and discectomy I still had significant pain and muscle weakness that traditional physical therapy didn't resolve. Luke planned specific strengthening exercises to assist in my recovery and I found them to be very effective option. There are several exercises I still do to this day, several years later. Maintaining a high level of physical performance after an injury and with age requires a great deal of effort - you may need all the help you can get - I'd love to have Luke on stand-by for my support team.”

— Mark Miller, Ashland Fire Local 1386

“Luke has been a great inspirational force in helping me drop weight, get stronger and feel so much better while performing my daily activities. His knowledge on how to get someone in shape and motivate them to stick with it is top notch. I have had him work with my entire family and he has really turned our overall health in the right direction. It is great to have him coaching us all to a healthier life. I highly recommend his services to all I meet.

— Scott Cramer, Territory Manager at Robertson Heating Supply

“"Luke Chronister and his staff bring a tremendous amount of knowledge and passion to what they do. With them you will get a personalized program geared to get you to your goal." ”

“What a detailed type personal trainer. Luke has helped my son not just in the aspects of strength and conditioning, but he is helping him grow as a person. He works great with all of his clients and for the price it's amazing!!! I would not only recommend Luke to anybody that wants to be a better athlete, but to learn how to become a better person physically and mentally. I have been to other trainers and there is no comparison. He is the best.”

“Luke works with my daughter. He is helping to prepare her to try and earn a varsity spot on her highschool volleyball team in the fall. Luke is a true professional and is helping her maximize her potential. His ability to customize a program for her specific needs separates him from many others in this field.”

— Ron Hall, New and Used Car Sales/Leasing Consultant at Falls Motor City

“"Who knew working out could be so much fun! What a difference he's made for my girls. He motivates them to turn their goals into reality!"”

— Sharon Knauss

“Mitch has been doing a wonderful job with our son. We have seen amazing improvements with his basketball game and his level of confidence on the court. I have seen a tremendous improvement in his eating habits at home since he has started with you. Not sure if the two are related but he has never eaten so well and he really thinks about what he is eating: how healthy it is, will it fill him up and is it good for him!
Thank you for all your hard work with him.”

— Carol Mancuso

“"Being a career firefighter or law enforcement officer is demanding on your body, both mentally and physically. Our communities rely on us for the right answer for help and safety. Sometimes in helping others we ourselves get injured. That's what happened to me. I've been a full-time career firefighter/medic for the past 16 yrs. Over time I started to see a decline in my physical abilities. Muscles become strained or pulled, yet we continue to work because that's our mindset in this business. Problems continue to get ignored until one day you can't perform the tasks necessary to keep others and yourself safe. That's when I decided to call E.L.I.T.E. Training Performance. They sat down with me and listened to my concerns. They explained my injury to me. They devised a plan that both helped me and taught me how to properly care for special muscle groups. Don't continue to work in pain and further injure yourself as I did. I highly recommend Luke Chronister and his team at E.L.I.T.E. Performance as they understand the demands of our jobs and the need to be physically prepared, both on and off the job."”

— Steve Cellar, Ashland Firefighters Local 1386

“Luke rehabbed, then provided physical training to my Irish dancing daughter, helping restore her to national level competitive shape after she was injured. Much more than simple training, he carefully diagnosed both her injuries and her dancing form to custom design a regimen for her. He earned her trust and mine, and was always a pleasure to work with!”

— David DuBois, Director of Research & Development at True Market Solutions

“I highly recommend a conversation and initial training session with Luke. I've been working with him since 2008 and he has helped me with my personal fitness and health goals. Over the years, I had worked with many trainers who never really listened to what I wanted or needed. He is the first person that I have ever worked with that has proven his knowledge and skill, and from whom I have seen real results. Whether you are looking to get into a regular fitness program, or utilize his knowledge with a few sessions, he is a tremendous resource and very caring individual who will help you achieve your goals.”

— Zipporah Groth, Financial Advisor at Northwestern Mutual

“My name is Amanda White and I have been Irish step dancing for 14 years. Starting to train with ELITE Training Performance was when I began to see my full potential as a dancer. ELITE has helped me gain strength and stamina in the precise areas I needed it, as well as recover from minor injuries and avoid any major ones. I've been treated with care like a family member. I have been to multiple World Championship events with the guidance of ELITE and am fully confident that I would not still be dancing if not for my training. ”
